Sometimes what haunts you most is wondering what could have been.
Avalee Elvis prides herself with being able to fix just about anything. . . except her past. Unable to put the puzzle of her life together, she pours heart and soul into making neglected places whole again. As the owner of Lowcountry Lost, Avalee spends her days in hot-pink Carhartt overalls and a tool belt reclaiming Lowcountry properties. Making them beautiful again releases the deep sigh that soothes the hurt she holds.
Avalee’s latest project takes her to tiny Somewhere, South Carolina, a long-abandoned town. She ignores its ghostly folklore but can’t miss the shock of hearing the familiar Irish brogue that materializes on the job site—the voice of the man she never wanted to see again.
Rowan Murray is a structural engineer hired by investors to oversee the redevelopment of the quaint downtown Avalee is bringing back to life. Once upon a time, he was also the man who knew Avalee better than anyone else—or so he thought. Six years ago, neither of them was prepared for the tragedy they would face together or what would happen in its wake. But as they work together to complete the rehabbing of Somewhere, their broken pieces and the pain that nearly consumed them begin to lose their grip, and both begin to wonder if it’s not too late for a restoration of their own.

I absolutely loved this book!!! Everything about it. It is a mix between Sweet Home Alabama and renovation shows - both of which I love. This book had me on an emotional rollercoaster in the VERY best possible way. I loved how pieces of their history were perfectly woven into the story. I absolutely LOVED Rowan! As much as I like Avalee, it really saddened me how much time was wasted between these soulmates! I know everyone grieves differently but he is so perfect for her! The side characters are fantastic. I would definitely read more by this author!
